Thinking of the job he did at Ipswich and Hearts fills my soul with joy and puts a spring in my step. When I'm having a "down" moments I just cast my mind back to Marcus Stewart in full pomp, or Skacel smashing one past Hamilton Academical's goalie and everything takes on the rosy hue again. Thank you George. Thank you for Ipswich and Hearts. Thank you for everything.

Al-Fahim is funny.

James was our best threat going forwards. He had no choice but to whack it in the box as no one offered him anything else. He put a perfect ball on Lallana's head who should have scored. That said, if the **** gave their striker a 5 and thinks Morgan played well he's clearly a complete an utter idiot.

Don't think so. I think the point of that corner is that Hammond hopes to ghost in unmarked. If Lambert, Jaidi or Trotman make that run then the defence send their biggest guy with them as they are percevied as the main threat. That is why it has worked this season (at least twice from memory - Oldham away and another one?)

For those who agree in principle with the 4-5-1 but don't like Wotton, how about moving James to the Wotton position and playing Thomas at right back ( until Murty is fit)? I also agree that Waigo should start ahead of Antonio.

Think people are being a bit harsh on him. He is still raw but has tremendous potential. Personally, I think Waigo should start but Antonio is a great option to have.

You got lucky.

Harding's dead balls were bad.

Homophobic jokes are not funny.

I hate it when Hammond scores from that long floated delivery.

Er, we've scored quite a few from corners this season I think.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks James was a problem today is pretty clueless IMO. Sure, he got outpaced for the third goal but players get outpaced sometimes. That's life. He was probably a bit tired from being the only attacking threat on the pitch as well.

We were crap mate. Granted we missed some chances but we need to play better than this with the ball and our defending was pants. Brighton did what most away teams at SMS will try to do.

Let's do some ratings Saints fans: KD 5 - Could have done better with second. Good save in the second half. James 6 - Our best attacking threat!! Jaidi 2 - Looked like he couldn't be bothered. Trotman 3 - Rusty. Thomas 5 - Ok but please don't try to pass it forward; give it to Lloyd. Harding 5 - Caught out for the first goal a bit but generally had a decent game. Hammond 4 - Missed a sitter. Didn't hurt the opposition at all. Schneiderlin 3 - Mostly pointless. Lallana 6 - Used the ball well on the rare occasions we strung more than 2 passes together. Antonio 6 - Did well in the first half. Good throws. Lambert 5 - Good pen. Poor game. Connolly 5 - Not really his fault due to lack of service but never looked likely to anything. Waigo - 6 Did well. I would have him in the team. Mills - dunno. Didn't really notice him.

Don't think that had anything to do with it. We were just gash and lazy today.

As I said at the time, we were pretty poor on Wednesday too.

Completely pedestrian in defence and lazy on the ball. We usually have enough touches of quality to win playing like that but this has been a lesson that we need to improve our patterns of play if we're going to make the play-offs! (We aren't going to make the play-offs).

Rubbish performance.

Thomas for Trotman.

Irish Maccy D's adverts are good aren't they?

Awesome. WHat a pen. Especially after the ref mincing about for ages.

What a load of garbage.

Either that or Skacel's signing on Monday.

Hammond I guess. I'm sure KD's cool with it.

according to the tv commentator man.
